Share Your Feedback on Proposed New Marina and Waterfront Park in Port Credit – September 14 to October 31, 2023

By Announcement, Events, Ward 1

The City has plans to build a new marina and waterfront park at 1 Port Street East in Port Credit. Before we can do this, we need to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) – a public consultation and a review of the impact of the proposal on the environment.

This project includes adding fill to the lake to create new land along the existing break wall. This will provide an opportunity to continue the site’s historic marina function, support marina and business activity, create new a waterfront park and improve habitat. The site is one of the few deep-water harbours on the north shore of Lake Ontario and an important part of Mississauga’s tourism and waterfront parks strategies.

From September 14 to October 31, 2023, take part in the virtual Public Information Centre #3. View the project documents, including the online presentation and draft EA document, and share your feedback through an online survey.

The City will be holding a pop-up event with staff available to answer questions and discuss the project. Pop-up event details will be made available on the project website.

A TREE DEDICATION FOR ALICE CASSELMAN

By Announcement, Events, Parks, Ward 1

Mississauga, Ontario, August 4th – In recognition of all her work for both the environment and community, a tree will be presented to Alice Casselman, the founding president of ACER, by the City of Mississauga’s Ward 1 and 3 councillors, Stephen Dasko and Chris Fonseca. This ceremony and mini tour will begin at 3:00pm at Fleetwood Park (2000 Burnhamthorpe Rd. E) and everyone is welcome to attend.

For years Alice Casselman, through ACER, has been giving both individuals and organizations opportunities to get involved within their communities to help plant, maintain and monitor trees. Over time, Alice has worked, with support from the City of Mississauga, to increase canopy cover vital to building climate resilience in neighbourhoods. ACER has also planted and monitored hundreds of trees and has provided educational opportunities for countless students through the Planting for Change and Canada Summer Jobs programs.

This event will be open to the entire community and will celebrate Alice and her work.

ACER’s Mission:

ACER is a non-profit organization dedicated to building climate resilience through planting, measuring and monitoring trees. Through various programs, ACER educates volunteers about climate change and provides opportunities for communities to better the tree canopy in their own backyards.

To find out more about ACER’s mission and projects go to https://www.acer-acre.ca/ or find us on instragram @climatesake, or on facebook @Association for Canadian Educational Resources.
